If we take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness—that means if we understand, "What is God? What I am? What is our relationship? What is the ultimate goal of our life?"—if these things we understand, then we can get out of these clutches of illusion, repetition of birth, death, old age and disease. This is the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, sum and substance. And to realize this, the method is very simple—chant the holy name of God. We are chanting the holy name of God: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. So our only request is that you have got this human form of body—don't misuse it. Don't waste it like animals simply by eating, sleeping, mating and defending. You have got another business. A human being has got extra intelligence. That extra intelligence than the animal is meant for realizing himself, not to live like cats and dog. That is not human form of life.

We have come to serve God, His purpose. God is very&#10;kind upon every one of us. He comes Himself. He comes His . . . He sends His&#10;son. He sends His devotee to reclaim. As I was explaining that in the material&#10;condition of life we have been changing from one body to another. This is not&#10;very good condition of life. Nobody wants to die, but he is forced to die.&#10;Nobody wants to take birth, but he is forced to take birth. Nobody wants to&#10;become old man, but he becomes old man. And nobody wants to become diseased,&#10;but he is forced to take some disease. This is our condition. Now this human&#10;form of body is a chance to understand what is our real inconvenience—birth,&#10;death, old age and disease—and to think of whether there is any way out of this&#10;entanglement of repetition of birth, death, old age and disease. This is Kṛṣṇa&#10;consciousness movement. We are educating people how to get out of the clutches&#10;of illusion that continually, one after another, we have to take birth. Janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi-duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam ([[Vanisource:BG 13.8-12 (1972)|BG&#10;13.9]]). Real problem is this.
&#10;&#10;
So if we take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness—that means if we&#10;understand, "What is God? What I am? What is our relationship? What is the&#10;ultimate goal of our life?"—if these things we understand, then we can get&#10;out of these clutches of illusion, repetition of birth, death, old age and&#10;disease. This is the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, sum and substance. And to&#10;realize this, the method is very simple—chant the holy name of God. We are&#10;chanting the holy name of God: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/&#10;Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. So our only request is that you&#10;have got this human form of body—don't misuse it. Don't waste it like animals&#10;simply by eating, sleeping, mating and defending. You have got another&#10;business. A human being has got extra intelligence. That extra&#10;intelligence than the animal is meant for realizing himself, not to live&#10;like cats and dog. That is not human form of life.
&#10;&#10;
So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is educational&#10;movement. It is not a religious sentiment; it is a science. And we have got our&#10;books also. You have seen. There is demonstration of the book. We have got&#10;already twenty books of four hundred pages each, and we are going on, writing&#10;more books. The everything will be finished in eighty books. So if you want to&#10;know through science and philosophy, we have got our books. You can read. And&#10;even if you read the complete set, it will take your whole life to finish it.&#10;But if you cannot read or if you do not want to waste your time by such reading&#10;. . . it is not wasting; it is actually utilizing. But if you think so, then&#10;our request is that you simply chant the holy name of God.
